I am an over-ambitious achiever
Who holds the highest of high standards
Even though I come from a family
Who holds nothing to their name
When you look at me you see
unruly coarse hair
With rough skin
And a small body
What you don’t see
are the constant sleepless nights
And the long work hours
so that I may obtain
A normal life.
This work is important to me because
I don’t want others like me
To waste their lives
So that they may get
the same privileges
As their peers
Equity will begin with acknowledgment.

i didnt see him
he was probably busy
i didnt hear from him
he was probably tired
i wasnt with him
he was probably with someone
else.

I want to hold you in my arms
to shield you from the world
like holding a dandelion,
I want to make sure that the
wind
doesn't blow you away

silently.
they fall.
without consent.
they fall.
showing,
weakness.
they fall.

there's no time for love
and no room for consolation
but
there's time for disappointment
and room for failure

a soft look, was drawn to my direction
blushed cheeks, came towards me; that filled my madness
a single touch, in every part that i could handle from you
letting, every part of you in me..
just to repeat the moment
again.
and again.

being held in your arms gives me
security
being held in your arms brings me
hope
being held in your arms makes me
flustered
being held in your arms means
to lose everything
being held in your arms is
rebelling
being held in your arms has
to be fate
...
when i am not held in you arms.
i bring doubt.
i lose purpose.
i create insanity.
i long for desire.
i mean nothing

Step by step
Into the silhouettes of failure.
And letting it sallow me whole.
For that is who I am.
Nothing.
